00:00 Why you? I told you, God feel, and it felt so right.
00:04 I'm gonna cry too because you're the one who started it.
00:06 Hello, Julia Montes.
00:13 Hi, Alan Richard.
00:15 How are you?
00:16 I'm good, I'm very happy. How about you?
00:18 I'm full because I ate the food I took out from your house.
00:21 It was so delicious because...
00:24 It was so delicious. I don't know, maybe with your cooking,
00:27 you'll really feel that you love what you're cooking.
00:30 Yes.
00:32 How about you, Jules?
00:33 Your insight, general insight about this whole journey
00:37 that we went through while making 5 Breakups in a Row.
00:40 I always say that it's my first time being proud of a project.
00:44 I mean, I'm happy with the past projects that I've done.
00:47 But I have a dilemma with that.
00:50 I have a self-dilemma that I'm being embarrassed.
00:53 It's not because I'm not proud of the project,
00:55 but I'm not proud of myself.
00:57 But on this project, it's my first time feeling
00:59 that I'm excited to see what my group went through.
01:03 Maybe the feeling is different,
01:05 you know it's beautiful,
01:07 but the feeling is different that it's beautiful and you love it.
01:09 Yes, it has that impact on me.
01:11 So more than as an actor,
01:14 on my personal side, it has a happiness that I fulfilled.
01:19 Because sometimes, we're looking for happiness as an actor.
01:22 Now, I realized that it's okay to have both.
01:25 Your personal and as an actor, you can fulfill both.
01:29 That's how I made the film.
01:31 The character, the journey of on and off cam.
01:35 It's like, for the books,
01:37 you know you can't repeat it to others.
01:40 And you can't repeat it even to us.
01:43 Because the journey is different.
01:44 So you set your standards with 5 bars.
01:48 It became 5 stars.
01:50 I also want to add the part that you said it's okay.
01:54 Sometimes, whenever I get the chance to speak with people who has high wisdom,
01:58 they always say that sometimes,
02:00 you can't choose both, you need to compromise.
02:04 I beg to disagree.
02:05 Because with what's happening,
02:07 like this one, it's surprising, it's okay.
02:10 It's all about balance.
02:12 If it's okay, why not?
02:13 Because sooner or later, the situation in our lives,
02:17 eventually,
02:18 the situation will tell us that it's not okay.
02:21 But as long as you can try,
02:23 just try.
02:25 Let's just try.
02:26 If not, then no.
02:27 I have a question.
02:29 Of course, I say this every time I interview people.
02:33 My question is, why me?
02:35 So I'll ask you, why me?
02:38 Of course, this is your first time producing.
02:41 Yes.
02:42 It's a risk for you because it's not a joke to produce.
02:44 You're just starting.
02:46 And coming from the past works that you've done,
02:51 of course, there's pressure.
02:53 You can't leave that.
02:54 Why me?
02:56 It's a risk.
02:58 Why you?
03:00 I told you, God feel.
03:02 And it feels so right.
03:08 When I haven't met Jules,
03:11 there were so many fears, so many questions.
03:14 I only know you on the surface.
03:19 I think everything happens for a reason.
03:21 God gives us opportunities in life
03:25 because it needs to happen in our lives.
03:28 And this was meant to happen.
03:29 This was meant to happen.
03:31 I have no regrets.
03:33 Not even a single regret.
03:36 I got touched.
03:38 I just thought of following up on you.
03:41 I said earlier that my feeling on our journey
03:44 was fulfillment and happiness.
03:46 On your journey,
03:48 you produced and there's God Feel.
03:50 What's your feeling?
03:52 Did you feel the fulfillment as an actor?
03:56 I felt like I became proud of the project
04:00 even though people haven't seen it yet.
04:04 Do you have that feeling?
04:06 I think it was only on day one of the shoot that I had that feeling.
04:09 Every circumstance that comes.
04:12 Finishing day one, two, three, Singapore, home.
04:14 We saw the whole thing.
04:16 On day one, I was fulfilled.
04:18 All those succeedings,
04:20 bonus.
04:21 Every day that I'm with this group,
04:23 it's like fate is telling me
04:25 that it's proving to me
04:28 that my decision for this project
04:30 is the right decision.
04:32 Jules, any memorable instances?
04:36 Maybe on and off cam?
04:37 On or off cam while doing this?
04:40 That's one of my hardest questions.
04:43 It's hard even for me.
04:45 How can I say this?
04:47 Sometimes, the story
04:49 in a TV series has a peak.
04:53 So when we're asked,
04:56 we automatically answer,
04:58 "I want this because that's the peak."
05:00 The emotions, everything.
05:02 Intense.
05:04 But this time, it's different.
05:06 It's a peak.
05:08 Peak to the point that
05:10 how can you choose?
05:12 It's hard because it's different.
05:14 It's hard to say, "This is what I want."
05:16 Or, "This is what's memorable."
05:18 Wait, I want this too.
05:20 I want this too.
05:22 It's hard to answer.
05:24 But if you have to answer,
05:26 just the finale.
05:28 Because that's when it sunk in to me
05:30 that the impact is different.
05:32 Because it's not about the emotions
05:34 or the conversation.
05:36 How can you let go?
05:38 Yes.
05:40 Direk gave us this, this, this.
05:42 And then, while doing that
05:44 back shot,
05:46 "Oh, this is it. You're there."
05:48 Oh my gosh.
05:50 That's when it sunk in to us that this is what we went through.
05:52 The characters.
05:54 It's the first time I had a scene
05:56 without lines.
05:58 But,
06:00 that moment when we were
06:02 looking at each other's eyes
06:04 was a whole conversation
06:06 by itself.
06:08 We weren't saying anything.
06:10 I was asking myself,
06:12 I was very emotional that time.
06:14 Why did I understand you?
06:16 That time.
06:18 Yeah, I was
06:20 going back.
06:22 Why did I understand Jules?
06:24 Even though she wasn't saying anything.
06:26 Maybe because we didn't
06:28 have any...
06:30 We didn't have a friendship
06:32 that made me cry.
06:34 You're the one who started it.
06:36 No, it's just that she's just now
06:38 talking to me.
06:40 That's the effect.
06:42 I just realized it now.
06:44 We're talking,
06:46 but you're not saying anything.
06:48 But I understand you.
06:50 I'm the one who appreciates you.
06:52 Because sometimes,
06:54 you can feel it when there's a wall.
06:56 And we feel
06:58 each other.
07:00 "Did I read it right?"
07:02 "Oh, he read it."
07:04 There's that.
07:06 It's different.
07:08 It's not because we're facing each other
07:10 or doing something.
07:12 It's a different flow.
07:14 Yes, I have to agree.
07:16 For me,
07:24 favorite scene?
07:26 Oh, I'll go.
